Completely unrelated, but I drew this guy today and and I'm pretty fond of him. It's some sort of evolved lobster or shrimp,native to the coastal forests of British Columbia. It is a large lumbering beast, suffering from overhunting by the localpopulation of future people. It has 3 sets of pincers on it's chest and uses them for scavenging dead animalsas well as plucking ripe fruit from the tree tops. His name is Roger and sounds like a cow.

Learned some more Cascade today and a lot more confident with it's interface.

Things to fix on the flame thrower...
-it needs to look more liquidy where it comes out
-I need to add a second particle system to have flames rising up at the end
-smoke could use some more work
-figure out a way to get the emissive to throw off light, rather than simply glow
